Robotics
Software engineering methods for service robots, multi-robot systems, and human-robot collaboration.
Industry & Collaboration
Academic-industry collaboration for high-stakes software systems
I work on academic-industry collaboration and industry collaboration in software engineering for organizations building trustworthy systems, AI-enabled platforms, robotic applications, and space software. This work is led from the Gran Sasso Science Institute in L'Aquila, Abruzzo.
What I help with
- Software architecture assessment and evolution
- Reference architectures for complex and critical systems
- Research collaboration in trustworthy AI and trustworthy systems
- Engineering methods for autonomous and robotic systems
- Continuous compliance and software evolution in critical domains
- DevOps-oriented thinking for systems with safety and assurance constraints
How collaboration works
Depending on the context, collaboration can take the form of technical advisory, strategic workshops, funded research, project design, joint proposals, or supervision of doctoral work connected to industrial challenges. This includes software architecture collaboration, research collaboration in trustworthy AI, and longer-term academic-industry collaboration around complex software-intensive systems.
The objective is not only to solve an immediate technical problem, but also to strengthen the architectural and engineering foundations needed for long-term evolution. Relevant research areas are detailed in the Research page and illustrated through selected Projects.
Domains
Typical application contexts
Manufacturing
Architectures, production systems, and digital engineering for complex industrial environments.
Automotive
Architectural frameworks, systems of systems, and trustworthiness in software-defined vehicles.
Space systems
Satellite software architectures, digital twins, AI onboard, and compliant evolution in mission-critical environments.
Collaboration formats
Flexible formats for research, innovation, and talent development
Engagements can be short and focused, such as an expert assessment or architecture review, or longer-term through joint research, funded projects, research proposals, and industrial PhD supervision. For organizations seeking industry collaboration in software engineering, the emphasis is on combining scientific rigor with practical relevance.
I am Professor of Computer Science and Software Engineering in L'Aquila, Abruzzo, at the Gran Sasso Science Institute, and collaborate with companies, institutions, and innovation ecosystems at both local and international scale.
